Giveaway: Nine Pin’s Pressing Party 2016

Nine Pin Ciderworks is hosting their annual Pressing Party coming up this Saturday, November 12th. Each year they amass over a 100 varieties of apples sourced from Samascott, Lindsey’s Idyllwood and foraged apples and press them at this event into one “Monster” blend that will be packaged in cork and cage bottles the following year, with 2015’s Cider Monster being released this Saturday as well.

Other local vendors at the fest include Stacks Espresso, Sweet Mama Mia, Mad Cheesey, Albany Massage, and Troy Paper & Cloth. Albany Distilling Co. will be on hand to sample Warehouse Rye, a recently released collaboration between ADCo. and Nine Pin. Live music will be provided by The Sacandaga String Band and The Other Brothers, along with WEQX on site doing a live broadcast from 12-2.
